On Saturday, police went to one of the mall's parking garages and spoke with a man who said he saw a truck collide with a red car, according to a police report filed Monday in Natick District Court which is housed in Framingham District Court.

The man told police he saw the truck's driver, later identifed as Baez, threaten the other car's driver with a tire iron, according to the report.

"The second vehicle (the red car) then sped off and the unknown male (Baez) with the tire iron gave chase on foot," the report said.

A second man said he heard the crash and went outside to see what happened. When he saw the red car take off with Baez chasing after it, he said he took a picture of the truck’s license plate.

When Baez saw that, he approached the man with the tire iron held in an "aggressive" manner and grabbed the man by the shirt and said, "What did you see? What the (expletive) did you see?," the report said.

A woman in the parking lot witnessed the crash and the threat on the man, and told police Baez also waved the tire iron at her and told her she didn’t see anything, the report said.

Police arrested Baez after they pulled the truck over on Rte. 9. Police did not find the driver of the red car.

Police charged Baez, of 61 Pine St., with two counts each of assault with a dangerous weapon and intimidation of a witness and one count of assault and battery.

Baez pleaded not guilty at his Natick District Court arraignment on Monday. Judge Douglas Stoddart released him on $200 bail. Baez is due back in court on Oct. 1 for a pretrial conference.
